I’m a hopeless romantic and I have a severe obsession with hearts. Any fashion accessory that features a heart in it, I automatically love it. Even if it’s ugly, I’ll still love it because hearts are equivalent to love and love is beautiful. Well, at least in my opinion it is.

When Louis Vuitton came out with the Multicolor Heart Change Wallet Key chain, I wanted it so bad. At the time I didn’t have the funds to purchase it and my Mother was not about to shell out $400 for me to have it. As I get older, I’m more wiser when it comes to money and this one by Marc Jacobs is adorable for a great price.

Here we go… yet another fur handbag that was introduced for this Fall season. With so many of them out there, you would think that this fur trend wasn’t really a trend. But as more and more designers jump on the bandwagon, I am seeing more and more styles that actually don’t look half bad. This coming from someone who really doesn’t care for fur on handbags! I never would have thought I would be saying such things just a few short months ago! Pictured here is a good example of what I have been talking about. Meet the Juicy Couture Ziegfield Vivian Bag!

As I always mention, Alexander McQueen will always be one of my favorite designers. He was always so unique that you couldn’t help but stair at his designs in awe. I’m thrilled that his fashion house continues to design the collections the way he would of wanted them.

I’ve always been a fan of the skull clutches but I think I found the most beautiful skull clutch I’ve ever seen. The “Cathedral” Skull Clutch is so beautiful that it’s just in a different league as previous skull clutches. It reminds me of something we would of seen in the Lady Gaga “Bad Romance” video. It’s beautiful but yet edgy at the same time. It’s definitely a piece that catches your eye instantly.

It’s no surprise that I love clutches, especially evening clutches, as I write about them often. One that really caught my eye was the Rebecca Minkoff New Studded “Fling” Clutch. It’s fierce, fashionable and definitely edgy. It’s a great bag to carry to a really fun event or even a party.

If you follow your horoscope everyday, chances are you believe in the zodiac. I’m a firm believer in the zodiac and I tend to find that my horoscope is spot on a majority of the time. I’m also very proud to be a Leo’s. Madonna and Jennifer Lopez, who are my idols, happen to be Leo’s so I’m glad to share a sign with such honorable women.

The M Missoni Horoscope bags are not only affordable but they’re brilliant. I love that every sign in the zodiac is featured and that the bags are all a different color. It’s a perfect bag for those days you’re going to the market and have to carry extra things around. I personally would use this bag when I go to the grocery store, as I never buy much when I go, or when I do some vintage shopping. It’s also a great bag to have when you’re traveling and you want to carry books/magazines.

When I was a kid, I remember going with my mom to craft shows. They were apparently very popular back then. The local shopping mall would host them all the time and craftspeople would rent a “booth” outside the stores, in the open spaces. I remember my mom buying me a wooden sign that said “BRS’s Room” on it. I was so pleased to hang it on my bedroom door. Events like these are very rare now, I really only see them at the county fair. Oddly enough though, the latest so-called trend in the world of handbags is this thing they call the “crafted” look. Hmm… correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this just look like boho-chic stuff? Check out the Antik Batik Aden Embroidered Tote, for example.

When I first saw the Emily Cho Oversized Folded Clutch, I thought perhaps my eyes were playing tricks on me. I knew I had seen this design before. But where? Then it dawned on me. Of course, Alexander McQueen’s De-Manta Clutch! See the resemblance? Now I don’t know if McQueen was the first (ever) to come up with this design, after all it is pretty simple. But I do know that this design will forever be in my mind a McQueen. This is understandable, considering the Alexander McQueen De-Manta Clutch is practically everywhere!

Every fashionista out there heard about the grand collaboration between Italian fashion designer Missoni and Target. It came to no surprise that the collection was a sell-out hit. It was such a big hit that the retail giants’ server crashed within hours of launch time due to the numerous amount of activity its site received. Not only was I one of the few who couldn’t gain access to its online inventory, but also struggled to make a thirty-minute drive to my local Target. Clearly I missed out on the collection and going the eBay-reseller route is definitely out of the question.
